Pseudoaesthetic
Pseudoaesthetic β A microlabel describing individuals on the anaesthetic (also known as non-aesthetic) spectrum who experience non-aesthetic attraction that mimics, or borders on aesthetic attraction. This is referred to as pseudo aesthetic attraction.
Someone who is pseudoaesthetic does NOT experience actual aesthetic attraction (or experiences it at a lesser degree/frequency), they, however, experience something that they feel mimics, or is similar to aesthetic attraction, without actually being aesthetic attraction. Typically, someone who is pseudoaesthetic would experience a different form of attraction that mimics aesthetic attraction, but it does not necessarily have to be another form of attraction, and can be something else entirely.
- β Both flags created by me!! Both flags look fairly similar to already existing flags - I tried to mess around to get something that didn't look like flags that already exist, but it was fairly difficult considering I wanted to use the general non-aesthetic flag colours (pink) whilst also matching the already existing pseudosexual & pseudoromantic flags. Every flag I made ended up looking like a different, already existing flag π. - β I am /pretty sure/ pseudoaesthetic is coined by me. I was unable to find any other pseudo attraction terms outside of the already existing pseudosexual & pseudoromantic, which I created pseudoaesthetic as an aesthetic counterpart to.
